Those of you who are in the loop will know that I am currently attending an extraordinarily good international media industry conference in That Portugal.
The last time I attended NewsXchange, it was in Istanbul, and it snowed. This time we are in Cascais, and we are getting a hurricane, and - my - isn't that ship getting terribly close to the hotel?
First thing to point out is that I'm actually here for the work, and despite having a hotel room with an ACTUAL UPSTAIRS, there is little chance of me doing any of this:
A few things to note thus far:- God, I really, really hate flying. There was a moment of actual zero-g as we descended through the hurricane and the entire cabin crew and an unfortunate sap waiting for the toilets found themselves somewhere near the ceiling, then finding the floor coming up to meet them.
- God, I really hate foreign taxis. At one point, I swear we were aqua-planing sideways toward certain DOOM
- God, 3.00am starts are no fun
- God, isn't that ship getting really, REALLY close to the hotel?
IN SUMMARY: NONE OF THIS
LOTS OF THIS
Alles Klar?

Ooh! Lots of sweaty, semi-naked, hairy, beardy men, you lucky, lucky b***ard.
Has your ship come in yet?
Don't forget to take pics of those semi-naked, hairy, beardy men, you lucky b***ard.
THERE ARE NO SEMI-NAKED MEN
What about semi-naked wimmin?
Nice Info
(y)
i like it
Nice info
Well, I somewhat doubt that you're an Old Harrovian like the guy with the croissant (check the tie) so no wonder!
So if the international media types conference was here in Crewe at the Ramada you'd be jumping up and down like you'd stumbled upon a beefs mine?
Alles Klar.
I'm very glad you're not making a face like the twat in the photo. You may not have gone to Harrod's* but you know better than to look that poncy.
*I know. Is joke.
I want to slap that self-satisfied smirk right off his face. Hairy, sweaty, semi-naked guys look much nicer!
Agreed on the slapping.
Agreed on the hairy sweaty semi-naked beardy guys.
That is what this blog needs. Lots and lots more hairy, sweaty, semi-naked beardy guys.
and kittens.
Kittehs!
So, if there were no semi-naked, hairy men, what was your picture supposed to illustrate about your circumstances? That some like oysters and others like snails? That you've been tugging your own oar in Portugal?
Enlighten us!*
*so long as it's not about tugging things - I'm fresh out of mind bleach.
